Title: NOW SOLVED: Guess what this is 5
Post by: John on August 16, 2011, 10:22:08 PM

A tad more difficult but Oron is excluded. He can of course make remarks but let others have a go first! Species too please.

OK where's Oron when you need him. Presumably potting his bulbs which I should be doing.

One of these impossible, spotty ones from John. Yes, some help may be useful, but I'll try an Arum sp. again

Post by: John on September 09, 2011, 05:22:00 PM

It's definitely one for Oron.

With this tesselation i can think only of an Anacamptis/Orchis, maybe papilonacea.

Wrong family!

Is it Colchicum again? agrippinum?

Title: Re: Guess what this is 5
Post by: JTh on September 09, 2011, 08:51:06 PM

Fritillaria?

Title: Re: Guess what this is 5
Post by: John on September 09, 2011, 10:24:01 PM

Nope to the last two.

I would have said Arisaema or Amorphophallus but both are absent from the Middle East

Title: Re: Guess what this is 5
Post by: JTh on September 10, 2011, 10:31:11 AM

Is it an orchid?

Title: Re: Guess what this is 5
Post by: John on September 10, 2011, 11:00:49 AM

No, please pay attention, I have already ruled out this family!!!!!!!!! xxx

Title: Re: Guess what this is 5
Post by: John on September 10, 2011, 11:03:33 AM

Also to the previous reply I don't believe that I implied it was from the middle east, I perhaps gave that impression by saying it was one for Oron! So a tiny almost useless clue. It's not from the middle east.

Title: Re: Guess what this is 5
Post by: John on September 11, 2011, 09:56:29 PM

Are you desperate for another clue?

Title: Re: Guess what this is 5
Post by: JTh on September 11, 2011, 10:32:26 PM

Absolutely
